The committee, in its report to the Dean of students and Vice Chancellor of the University, has identified some students, who were present during the molestation as seen in the video clips produced and also from credible eye-witness account.

A statement signed by Mr Joseph Maafo Budu, Registrar of the University, copied GNA on Wednesday in Accra, said the Vice Chancellor in his capacity as the chief disciplinary officer of the educational institution, has referred the case against the students to the disciplinary Committee for Students.

It said: “those persons were invited to meet with the disciplinary committee as per a writ of summon issued on Wednesday, 13, April 2011.”

The statement announced that without any prejudice to the provision of the University’s statutes, the list of persons duly identified in the report has been handed over to the Ghana Police Service for its own investigations.
